What is MyBib?

MyBib is a free bibliography and citation generator that makes accurate citations for you to copy straight into your academic assignments and papers.

There are tools that already do this, but they’ve stagnated, become infested with ads, and charge you for features that should be free (especially for students). We want to fix this.

If you’re a student, academic, or teacher, and you’re tired of the poor bibliography and citation tools out there, then you’re going to love MyBib. MyBib creates accurate citations automatically for books, journals, websites, and videos just by searching for a title or identifier (such as a URL or ISBN).

Plus, we’re using the same citation formatting engine as professional-grade reference managers like Zotero and Mendeley, so you can be sure our bibliographies are perfectly accurate in over 9,000 styles — including APA, Chicago, MLA 7 & 8, and Harvard.

We don’t show ads, and we don’t hide all the best features behind a paywall. MyBib is student-friendly, and the tool we wish existed.

Who are you?

We’re Viv and Daniel. By day we’re software developers for tech companies you’ve probably heard of, and by night we work on MyBib as a passion project. We’re not a company, and we’re not doing this for profit. The citation tools we relied on when we were students were once free and open, and we simply want to pay it forward for the next generation.
